When the Library entrance does not abut (lie adjacent to) a State Highway, supplemental signing for the qualifying facility may be erected in advance of the street or road that provides the most logical and convenient route to the Library. The distance from the intersection to the facility shall be no more than one road mile. Additionally, the library must meet a minimum number of hours open to the general public per week, the required number of hours is dependent on the population of the community served. Signing for libraries is not allowed on Freeways. Requests for library signs may be sent to:
